this is "today." with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning, welcome to "today" on a monday morning. >> i'm savannah guthrie alongside al roker and natalee moralis. >> hey, sugar, take a walk on the wild side. >> can we turn that up a bit. >> i remember playing that m freshman year as a disc jockey. great song. >> tributes are pouring all in. we'll have more on the death of lou reed. new revelations on the nsa spying program. this morning, some of our closest allies are furious. andrea mitchell is nbc's chief foreign affairs correspondent. andrea? >> good morning, matt.

today el mundo shows that the u.s.a. tracked 60 calls in a month. they're demanding answers about the nsa spying on germany's leader, angela merkel. with europe demanding new rules of the road to control the vast electronic snooping. >> reporter: when he was a candidate barack obama was a rock star in europe. that was then. this is now. as europe reacts angrily to news that the u.s. spied on 35 leaders, including listening in on german leader's angela merkel's personal cell phone, in her case for more than a decade, all from what they call do dos nest. a cia inside of berlin. how did the man who won the nobel peace prize become the subject of europe's scorn. the white house can thank nsa leaker, edward snowden. president obama has had to apologize to hollande, merkel,

and current and former leaders in mexico and president ruseff who even canceled a state visit to washington she was so angry. while the nsa scandal is also causing protests at home, with european allies, it could cost serious money. the european union, america's largest trading partner, is threatening to cancel pending trade talks in the u.s. >> when we're doing this in germany, france, great britain, other nations we've been allied with in fighting al qaeda, invading libya, these kinds of things just trample trust. >> the administration and its defenders say most of the spying is legitimate for the protection of the u.s. and its allies. >> so a bad guy in afghanistan can use networks in france or germany or great britain or the united states and plan operations with somebody else who may be in afghanistan, but you could still use all of those networks. >> the nsa has issued an unusual denial of one british report that said president obama had

been told three years ago that the nsa was eavesdropping on merkel's cell phone, but that is the only clear denial so far as the administration is now scrambling to answer angry allies without knowing just what edward snowden will leak next. matt. >> andrea mitchell. thank you very much. get some perspective from robert goetz. he is an nbc news political analyst. robert, good morning. good to see you. >> good morning. how are you? >> as somebody who used to live and breathe these kinds of crises, what are we talking here? do you consider this to be a much damage has been done? >> well, look, i think clearly damage has been done. i think we have to evaluate whether the costs of the method of gathering some intelligence greatly exceeds the benefit of that intelligence, particularly when we're listening into apparently some of our very closest allies. >> it seems that the feeling from the white house so far up

until this point has been, look, we all know, wink, wink, everyone does it. everybody spies on each other. this seems to go above and beyond that when you're talking about potentially listening in to the phone calls of a world leader like angela merkel. >> i think it's certainly embarrassing for both sides, particularly for chancellor merkel to read some of this in german outlets. i think what it puts into danger are a few things. information sharing that we get from our closest allies. obviously our closest allies by definition are the ones most likely to help us the most but if we're straining those relationships, we could be straining that. with brazilians canceling state visits, the rising powers in the world turning them off when we don't have deep relationships with them certainly also could cause harm to overall national security efforts to protect america. >> you were senior advisor to the president.

what intelligence would be served by listening to the phone conversations of a world leader of an ally? >> we have to evaluate whether or not the benefit at all that we get from something like this or might get from something like this is in any way greater than the cost. i don't think with some of our very closest allies, great britain, france, germany, it makes a tremendous amount of sense. obviously we've got relationships around the world that are very, very dear to our national security and we shouldn't threaten those by trying to get information that, quite frankly, is probably not altogether very useful. >> robert goetz, former white house advisor, thank you. >> want to turn to oklahoma now and a man hunt for four men who made a daring escape from a local jail over the weekend. nbc's cakerry sanders has it. >> reporter: good morning, matt. like a plot out of a movie. four inmates all described as pretty crafty who crawled their

way to freedom through a crawl space just above their jail cells. >> reporter: the four escaped convicts are dillon ray, three irons, tuwynn brown, thomas wesley johnson and tristan sws cheatle. they had been convicted of burglary and other charges but together they devised a plan. pretty crafty? >> they are. >> very early sunday morning the four men were in a shower area of their cell. they climbed up through a trap door above the shower head into a small area that houses the plumbing pipes. from there they were able to work their way about 30 feet through the plumbing crawl space, break through a concrete wall into a utility room that led out of the jail. >> this opening is 12 inches 15 inches? >> pretty close. i haven't been up there. they say it's tight. >> the breakout follows the high

profile case a week and a half ago of two convicted killers serving life sentences in a florida prison who simply walked out using fake documents. they were captured by federal marshalls a short time later, but the incident has authorities reviewing the protocols for florida's prison system. and now in oklahoma they'll be doing the same thing. but in the meantime, people in cato county should be careful. >> anybody that goes to prison, they're considered to be dangerous and possibly around. >> reporter: authorities say that just this weekend they realized that several trap doors above the shower had not been sealed so they began to actually have them welded. they got all of them but two. matt, savannah? >> kerry, thanks very much. now breaking news overnight. the early release of dr. conrad murray. >> that's right.

conrad murray, the doctor convicted of involuntary manslaughter in michael jackson's death. he was released just after midnight for administering a fatal dose of propofol to jackson. the doctor hopes to regain his medical license and resume treating patients. more trouble for the government's health care website. an outage knocked a key part of that site offline. nbc's white house correspondent peter alexander has the latest. peter, good morning. >> hi, natalie. this failure is blamed on another outside contractor. it's named teramark. this could impact online enrollments in all 50 states. with the fallout over the healthcare.gov website, they're saying it will be largely problem freebie the end of november giving millions of americans two weeks to meet the december 15th deadline if they want coverage by the new year.

>> the incompetence is staggering. >> everybody needs to chill out because it is going to work. >> reporter: while the latest change is strictly cosmetic, that smiling woman on the home page is gone, frustrations go deeper, with many people complaining of sticker shock after learning they must buy new policies that cover more but also cost more. >> i am incredibly frus straighted. our premiums were supposed to be going down. that is precisely the opposite of what is really. >> reporter: cavalaro's insurance company sent her this withdrawal requirements. because of the requirements of the new laws, we can no longer offer your current individual health benefit plan. their most similar new plan will cost her 65% more. the administration acknowledges some americans will pay more, but many people will get subsidies to help offset the costs. this wednesday health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius will be grilled by lawmakers after already becoming a punch line on "saturday night

live." >> sometimes it helps to turn the computer off and then turn it back on. we don't know why, it just does. >> reporter: also on wednesday, the president is going to address this topic again in massachusetts when that state rolls out its health care plan. less than 1% of all signups happened in the first month. natalie. >> peter at leks and der at the white house, thank you, peter. in china, five people were killed in beijing's tee annie min square. all people inside the car were killed. several people on the ground were also hurt. the vehicle burts into flames after hitting one of the ancient stone bridges. it wasn't clear whether it was accidental or deliberate. the funeral for the teacher murdered in massachusetts will be held later today. family and friends gathered sunday night for a wake to remember 24-year-old colleen ritzer. friends say she was a cheerful inspiration to those who knew her. police say 14-year-old phillip

in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief, and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. ask your gastroenterologist about humira today. remission is possible. but it doesn't usually work that way with health care.
